Foam Brewers
Burlington, VT
Pete - Foam is a relatively small taproom near the lake in Burlington. I went on a Friday night in the summer, and they had a live band playing inside that was quite good. They also have an outdoor area. You can get their beers at the bar, mostly IPAs and sours, along with some other options (including Citizen Cider), so it should satisfy everyone. It was pretty crowded, but it didn't take too long to get a drink. They did have an odd single-file line to order, but that's probably because people are coming from inside and out to get the drinks.

Foam Halo Bender
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV Pete Of the three beers I had in my first visit to Foam (see The Fruit... and The Shining below), this one was the closest to a typical IPA. It has a hint of pine to it, which was the familiar IPA flavor. It still doesn't fit in the cookie-cutter IPA category. It has a fruitiness to it as its dominant flavor, much like their others, but it's less tropical and more mellow. The combination results in a great balance of fruit and hops that's another HR from Foam. Great name too. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Foam The Fruit That Ate Itself
IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete This was the first beer I had during a visit to Foam. It couldn't have set the tone better. Just an explosion of hoppy and tropical fruity goodness. The brewery describes this as tasting "mango, orange, creamsicle". No argument here. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Foam The Shining
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV Pete Maybe a tiny hint more bitter than The Fruit That Ate Itself, which I think is a good thing. It balances it nicely. This one is described as "pineapple, mango, smoothie". I don't know if I believe the smoothie part, but I'd drink this anytime nonetheless. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
